its simple. if you don't like it don't buy it.

I dont like the back really or the spine, but im still buying to keep my marvel stills going

Same, it's the only reason I purchased the iron man 3 steel.

 

[justboy]

I know its a selling point to feature other well known faces on the art, but it could have been implemented better. Ah well, I think the front is good enough to make up for the back!

 

[wayne71]

Amazon..es hasnt put up their artwork yet, so fingers crossed.......but guessing it will be the same as this one

 

[Konflick]

for me i like the steel only the prob is No Title No buy for me

 

[Hazuki101]

What makes it worse is the film was actually very good so it was a no brainer initially... and I thought Thor 1 was poor.

All Marvel steelbooks tends to have similar artwork all around the world. If we want to protest, the protest should be sent to Marvel/Disney.

Assuming this has a j card on the back, the faces will be covered. Some people never open the steel so will never see it anyway. So they're 2 plus points I suppose... Although you'll always know they're lurking underneath. Also, who displays the back of their steels?

I hate the faces on the back but love the front so I'm happy with that. If this is matte background with a glossy Thor, i'll be very happy although i'll know this could have been a lot better

 

[Maccadinho25]

They didnt say amazon.co.uk they mentioned the Spanish one

Im sure Amazon dont see every single listing on their site made by third party sellers but im sure itll be removed soon so its not really "crazy"

 

[Slim]

Hey Wreck Do you know if any country will have different art for the Thor 2 Steel like a actual printed title?

yup I do .... but cant say what Country yet. Soon tho....

You can officially cancel this piece of scrap metal.

You can officially cancel this piece of scrap metal.

If it's an Asian company, I can see it being the Group buy to end all Group Buys lol

 

[jammyone]

And this is based on....?

to be fair HMV were by far the 2nd biggest retailer of media and media related goods in the UK (Play were the 3rd, The Hut group 4th) and importantly they were also the biggest (500+ stores) and only high street retailer.

The problems they had were caused by stupid management, getting into online retailing late, trying to get involved in live entertainment rather than just recorded, poor cash management etc etc.

My guess would be Kimchi.

Any spot gloss or just all matte finish?

 

[thewoe]

Release date for the amaray is 24th of Febuary according to amazon, so i should imagine this will be the same.

Yes, and every single retailer that has released Steels has faced significant push back from studios. War Horse from HMV caused lots of chatter about the logos, etc. And Play also had plenty of confusion, and 'nos' on certain aspects of art and finishes and qty. Our memories are very short with some things, and more long-term with others....these challenges we see today are not unique, they have always existed.
